About Love Walked In

Though the music was written in 1930, the lyrics weren’t added until 1937 for the movie The Goldwyn Follies, released in 1938. There have been many fine recordings, including those by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstorng, Bing Crosby and Artie Shaw.

Lyrics

Love walked right in and drove the shadows away
Love walked right in and brought my sunniest day
One magic moment, and my heart seemed to know
That love said Hello
Though no a word was spoken.

One look and I forgot the gloom of the past
One look and I had found my future at last
One look and I had found a world completely new
When love walked in… with you.
